Roof showed no remorse for killing nine black church members during a Bible study

Roof was convicted last month of 33 counts of federal hate crimes.

The evil church shooter becomes the first person in the US to be given the federal death penalty for hate crimes.

The same jury that found him guilty deliberated for just under 3 hours before deciding his sentence.

The 22-year-old, who represented himself in the penalty phase, did little to persuade the panel to spare his life.

He declined to present any witnesses or evidence, blocked standby defence lawyers’ attempts to raise questions about his mental health, and suggested in his closing statement that arguing for life in prison wasn’t worth the effort.

Earlier, he stunned the court by showing no remorse for killing nine black church members during a Bible study.
